OASIS Program Overview Jim Ghiloni Program Executive Officer OASIS Program Management Office GSS/FAS/GSA
OASIS - Introduction • OASIS — One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services — consists of two innovative vehicles for complex professional services: • OASIS: Full-and-open procurement • OASIS Small Business: Small Business set-aside • Scope covers: program management services, consulting services, logistics services, engineering/scientific services, and financial services. Also allows for ancillary equipment/services necessary for the solution to the requirement.
What is complex? • Requirements that contain multiple disciplines • Requirements that contain significant IT components, but are not IT requirements in and of themselves • Requirements that contain Other Direct Costs (ODCs) • Requirements that need to be performed on a cost reimbursement basis • Any, or some blend of all of the above
Introduction (con’t) • Why OASIS? • About half of all government spending on complex professional services in FYs 2010 and 2011 utilized cost-type contracts • There is no government wide contract that covers this • There has been an explosion of full and open competitions over the past 5 years in the professional services arena • Many of these competitions are for very similar services and are predominantly won by the top companies
U.S. General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service Maximizing Small Business Opportunity The OASIS Program will offer two acquisition vehicles: OASIS: Full and open competition solicitation OASIS-SB: A second solicitation set-aside for all small businesses regardless of their socioeconomic category The ability at the task order level to make direct awards to, or set-asides for, any of the socioeconomic categories authorized by statute
Maximizing SB Opportunity (con’t) • Provides small businesses an environment to compete only on OASIS-SB with other small businesses, or on OASIS with large businesses, or both • Customers using OASIS-SB are ensured to meet their small business objectives • The two solicitation approach adheres to successful GSA practice previously endorsed by SBA • The program fully supports small business utilization through: • (1) OASIS-SB set-aside contracts, and • (2) aggressive subcontracting goals under OASIS supported by off ramping for non-compliance
Benefits of OASIS • OASIS will allow for all contract types at the task order level, including fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials/labor-hours with the ability to create hybrid tasks utilizing multiple contract types within the same task order • Emphasizes opportunities for Small Businesses; • Supports better acquisition outcomes; • Offers on-ramping/off-ramping procedures to ensure a flexible, vibrant vendor pool; • Enables agencies to concentrate on agency missions which will minimize the unnecessary proliferation of interagency and agency-wide contracts; • Reduces the lead time and administrative efforts it currently takes agencies to acquire complex professional services; • Focused customer support services, task order support, on-going training, creation of Web Library to provide samples, advisory group.
NAICS Pools • Six NAICS code pools based on common size standard among the codes in each pool - 28 NAICS codes and 3 exceptions each to two of those codes – 34 codes/exceptions in all • Each contract specifies in which NAICS code pool(s) the contractor can compete • Task orders can be: • direct awards to socioeconomic groups authorized to receive sole-source awards • set-asides for exclusive competition among one of the socioeconomic groups authorized in SBA and FAR regulation • competed among all OASIS or OASIS-SB holders
Flexibility • Pricing types to fit requirements • Supports all contract types • Cost Reimbursable: CPAF, CPIF, CPFF, et al. • Fixed Price: FFP, FFP-LOE • Time and Materials/Labor Hour • Hybrid task orders allowed as well • Add agency- and task-specific provisions and clauses • OCO can customize their task order to best fit their requirements
